“As a salon business owner I have seen a significant increase in business through smartphone apps. This technology allows our clients to interact with us when it is most convenient for them. The app is simple, user friendly and supplies an array of pertinent information. Booking an appointment, salon hours, driving directions, how-to tips, product education, and available services have never been so easily accessed. This new innovation connects businesses to their customers in a way that enriches communication. The client attains information in real time. If the app is done well, this will truly foster loyalty and repeat business.”
